Steps:

• Lay pizza dough on a lightly floured surface so it can rest.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Roll pizza dough (on a lightly floured counter) into a rectangle, approximately 11 x 17.
• Sprinkle with sausage mixture, then the cheeses.
• Start at the bottom of the long side and roll jellyroll fashion, stopping occasionally to stuff sides it. When you get to the end, pinch seam together, trying to squeeze air out as you go.
• Place seam side down on baking sheet; bake for about 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
• Remove from oven and lay a clean dish towel on top of loaf; this will allow the crust to soften up and it will be easier to slice and eat.
• After about 10 minutes or so, slice into 1 inch slices. Serve with warmed sauce for dipping, if desired.
• Enjoy!
